Chapter 119 Chapter 119 After school starts, it is still Meng...

After school started, Meng Yufei still picked up the two children on her way to and from get off work every day. Every weekend, she took them to Aunt Liu's house to learn calligraphy and painting, and she took two days to take Xia Qinqin to Teacher Zhou's house to learn dancing.

During this period, Team Leader Fang went to the Public Security Bureau several more times, but of course there was no result in the end. The family seemed to have accepted the fact that the child was missing, and gradually, even the people on the island rarely mentioned the matter anymore.

However, although Captain Fang has been going out of the island less frequently by boat, Tong Caifeng has been going to the city more frequently recently.

On this day, Tong Caifeng came back from the city again. After getting off the boat, she did not go home as usual, but wandered around the family compound slowly.

It was around three in the afternoon, and there were few people on the road to the family compound, so naturally no one noticed her strange behavior.

She seemed to be thinking about something as she walked...

Xiao Zhang didn't sleep well last night. When he went back home for a nap today, he accidentally overslept. When he got up and checked the time, he immediately ran over from the dormitory in a hurry.

She ran fast and bumped into someone at the bottom of the cafeteria. "Ouch! I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."

Xiao Zhang knocked the man to the ground without seeing who it was. He apologized hastily and went to help him up.

"Which bastard is so blind? Did his butt get burned by fire, or is there a ghost chasing him? It hurts so much..."

A vulgar curse sounded in his ears, and Xiao Zhang frowned. Only then did he see clearly who he had bumped into.

"Oh, it's Sister Tong. I'm so sorry." Although Xiao Zhang was unhappy, he still apologized.

Tong Caifeng got up from the ground, pushed Xiao Zhang's hand away, pointed at her nose and cursed: "Are you blind? Can't you see that I'm such a grown man standing here, you wicked thing..."

Xiao Zhang's face turned pale and he interrupted her curse words, "Sister Tong, I have already apologized to you, please be careful with your words! Also, this is a corner, I didn't mean to bump into you."

Tong Cai glared at him and yelled, "Who told you to walk so fast? You didn't even look at the road when you walked. You just rushed forward with your eyes closed!"

Xiao Zhang took a breath and said, "It's my fault. I'll apologize to you, okay? I'm sorry for knocking you over."

Tong Caifeng raised her chin and said, "Do you think a simple apology is enough? My legs hurt a lot, and I don't know if they are broken. And my waist..."

"Then I'll take you to the hospital." Xiao Zhang said as he took her hand.

Unexpectedly, Tong Caifeng pulled her hand back subconsciously, and her originally arrogant demeanor suddenly became weak. "I, I remembered that I have something else... No, I won't bother with you." After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Xiao Zhang looked at Tong Caifeng's back and blinked in confusion. How come she suddenly became so easy to talk to?

Back in the office, Xiao Zhang stuck out his tongue and said, "Sister Meng, I'm sorry, I overslept."

Meng Yufei said: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do today, I'll be more careful next time."

Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Meng."

Meng Yufei watched her sit down and asked curiously, "Xiao Zhang, I noticed that you haven't been in a good mood these past two days. Is there something wrong?"

"Ah..." Xiao Zhang sighed and whispered, "I'm going to see Chen Yanze this weekend..."

Meng Yufei understood in her heart that there was a problem in the relationship.

"He..." Xiao Zhang paused for a moment, and said sadly: "He said that he has no feelings for me, so let's just forget it."

Meng Yufei comforted him, "There are many good men. If this one doesn't work, just find another one."

Xiao Zhang nodded: "Yes, I just don't believe it. There is no one more handsome than Chen Yanze!"

Meng Yufei: "..."

Xiao Zhang was sad for a while, and then, as if it had just happened, he tilted his head and said, "Sister Meng, I just bumped into someone downstairs by accident. Guess who it was?"

"Who?"

"Tong, Cai, Feng." Xiao Zhang said angrily, "Not only did she scold me, she almost blamed me!"

Meng Yufei listened to Xiao Zhang's description and asked curiously, "Why is Tong Caifeng standing at the entrance of the cafeteria? It's still early for dinner."

Xiao Zhang said, "Oh, I forgot to ask her just now. Could it be that she has something else to do in our logistics department? Is she still going to work?"

Meng Yufei shook her head: "There hasn't been any recruitment notice recently. I can't change her position."

Xiao Zhang said, "Yes, then, who is she going to report again?"

Meng Yufei still shook her head. "She could have just written a letter to report the incident. She didn't have to come here in person. If she really wanted to report the incident, she wouldn't have just left after you bumped into her. I don't think she's coming to the logistics department."

"Then where is she going, the Women's Committee?" Xiao Zhang suddenly remembered, "Oh, didn't she go to Director Wang to talk about her daughter who was lost recently? Is there something new going on recently?"

At this point, Xiao Zhang sincerely said, "I hope the child has been found."

Meng Yufei knew where the child was, and there was a high probability that Captain Fang and Tong Caifeng would not find him. Xia Junshan went to Zheng's house last week. The child could now walk a few steps. He was fair, tender and clean, and was completely different from the child he was a few months ago.

Even if Tong Caifeng, the biological mother, saw the child on the street now, she might not be able to recognize that it was her lost child.

But this certainly couldn't be said, so Meng Yufei nodded and said, "Maybe."

…

In the kindergarten, Zhou Wenqian led the children in singing. She had just learned a new song recently and the children all liked it very much.

At the classroom door, Principal Tian waited for the children to finish singing a song, then waved to Zhou Wenqian.

Zhou Wenqian nodded, turned to the children in the audience and said, "Students, sing it again. The teacher will be out for a moment and will be back soon."

"Okay!" the children responded in unison.

Zhou Wenqian walked to the door and asked, "What's wrong, Principal? What's the matter?"

Principal Tian said, "Teacher Zhou, I just received a phone call inviting me to go on a spring outing with the kindergarten affiliated with Huanxian Textile Factory on the other side of the strait."

Zhou Wenqian asked in confusion: "Why would you invite us to go on a spring outing?"

Principal Tian said, "They said that last year we won the first prize in the city's youth chorus competition, and you also won the city's outstanding teacher award. This is the first time a kindergarten teacher has won the award, so they wanted to take this opportunity to exchange ideas with us and learn from us."

Zhou Wenqian asked: "Did they say when and where?"

Director Tian said, "It is said that next Friday, there is a famous mountain in their county called Jingshan. The mountain is not high but the scenery is beautiful. We can take the children there for an outing."

"Then, how do we get there?" The only ferry on the island goes to Qiongzhou City Pier.

Director Tian said, "If we agree, they can send a boat to pick us up."

Zhou Wenqian was still a little hesitant. "I still have to ask the children's parents. After all, we are taking them off the island."

"Of course, we must ask for the parents' opinions." Dean Tian nodded, and then she sighed, "In fact, they called me last month. When Director Fu told me about this, I directly refused. But later, not only did the principal call me again with a very sincere attitude, but even the deputy director of the textile factory called me."

"Their affiliated kindergarten has many students, but the teaching staff is weak, and there are not even enough childcare staff. The principal also wanted to take this opportunity to make some achievements, attract the attention of the factory leaders, and tilt resources towards the kindergarten."

The textile factory is a large factory with a complete range of schools attached to it, from kindergarten to high school. Among the several schools, although kindergartens have helped many parents solve the problem of having no one to take care of their children, compared with elementary schools, middle schools and high schools, they are the least valued by the factory.

Zhou Wenqian also understood and nodded, saying, "Then I'll talk to all the parents after school today and see what they think."

Dean Tian nodded and said, "I will stay after school today to help inform the parents. We will uphold the principle of voluntary participation and see how many people sign up in the end. If there are too few people, forget it."

When Meng Yufei went to pick up her child after get off work, she heard the news from Zhou Wenqian. She thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Zhou, I will go back and discuss it with the child's father and get back to you tomorrow."

Zhou Wenqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, you guys think about it carefully."

Xia Qinqin held Meng Yufei's hand and asked in confusion: "Mom, what is outing?"

Meng Yufei explained softly: "Spring is here, the grass and trees have grown green leaves, and people will go to the fields, the countryside or the mountains to see them."

Xia Qinqin said: "So Teacher Zhou is going to take us to the mountain this time, right? Jingshan, right?" She just heard it.

Meng Yufei smiled and said, "Yes, we are going to climb the mountain. Qinqin, do you want to go?"

"I want to go! I want to go with my parents." She tilted her head and looked at Lu Yannan beside her, and added with a smile: "And Brother Yannan, the four of us will go."

Meng Yufei asked again: "Yannan, do you want to go for an outing?"

Lu Yannan thought about it and nodded, "It's good to go. I can draw a landscape painting when I come back."

Xia Qinqin immediately said, "I want to draw too! I want to draw a lot of pictures with all of us in them, and then send them to my grandparents, and also send one to sister Nini."

Meng Yufei smiled and said, "Well, that's a big project."

Xia Qinqin said confidently: "I can draw very quickly now. I can finish a painting in a short time. Last time, Grandma Liu praised me and said that my paintings are getting better and better."

Meng Yufei praised: "Our Qinqin is really amazing. Last time, your grandmother Liu praised you in front of me for your talent in painting. You must keep up the good work."

Xia Qinqin's eyes were smiling happily, and she couldn't help jumping and skipping as she walked, with the two little braids on her head swinging back and forth.

Meng Yufei added: "She also praised Yannan, saying that your handwriting is getting better and better, and it has a lot of style."

Lu Yannan curled the corners of his mouth.

At the dinner table in the evening, Meng Yufei told Xia Junshan about the outing, "I will ask my parents tomorrow if I can go with you. If I can, I will take a day off and go with you."

Xia Junshan nodded: "It will be easier if you go with me."

Xia Qinqin hurriedly said, "Dad, you can go too."

Xia Junshan touched his daughter's head and explained, "I'm sorry, I can't take a day off that day."

Xia Qinqin pouted in disappointment.

Xia Junshan smiled and said, "You guys go and see if it's fun first. If it is fun, how about you take me there again on the weekend?"

Xia Qinqin nodded: "Okay."
